Lit Fest 2024

Come discover how to navigate the kidlit industry like a pro! Students will begin to chart a course toward their publishing goals via writing prompts and brainstorm exercises which will explore cultural sensitivity and authentic representation, in addition to querying agents; submitting solo; self-publishing; and marketing a title for children or tweens. "Lesser-known" paths to becoming a published author like IP work—plus the pros and cons of these types of book deals—will also be discussed.
